Ok, eld, here's one from me from a rifle I broke in properly using a borescope mind you seeing what is happening. this is at 200 yards, and very typical of that rifle. What does it prove? Absoluelty nothing, just like yours. We can go back and forth posting pictures, and it still won't mean anything.
Well, I will admit I've never had an opportunity to use a borescope to actually SEE what's happening inside the bore, so that could change my mind....... all Ican say is you and I usually agree on most things....
Nice group-what did you shoot it with?
That was a 300RUM I had built, and finally it burnt out. Working on a 300Win now. I just need more barrel life than 1200 rounds. I only got 600 rounds or so out of the last RUM Krieger barrel and started see heat cracks in the bore.
Good talkin to ya, I mean no offense to you on my posts. I ahve seen brake in work on 3-4 rifles out of 20 I have done it on. In other words, help. Rest has bores that wouldn't brake in. I can see your point.
Hmmm...1200 rounds. I had been considering a .300 RUM or Weatherby, but maybe I'll try a .338/'06 instead. I have a nice old Ruger No.1B in .30/'06, which might be a good candidate for a rebore job. (Originally, I was thinking of putting the No. 1H .416 Rigby barrel on it that I picked up last year.)
Sounds like those bigger .300's are maybe just a bit on the over-capacity side. I too want more than 1200 rounds.. so my son or grandson can wear it out!
